Hotels & Travel

How to reach from the airport to the city centre?On arrival, it is best to get Metro from the airport. Both Metro Lines 3 and 5 link the airport with the center of Valencia (roughly 25 minutes away). Taxi is also convenient. Taxi stops are located at the arrivals area of the airport and the cost is about 20€ to the city. For further information visit the section of the website that contains this and many other explanations here.

How do I get an international visa invitation letter?If you require an invitation letter to enter Spain, you’ll have the option to request one while you are registering for the event. For further information about the travel documents click here or send an email: euro2018@adeituv.es

Should I wait to book hotel and airline reservations in case prices come down?We recommend booking hotel and flights sooner rather than later. With airlines, you will find the best flight options and more seat availability the earlier you book. We recommend you book your travel using our official travel partner, GLOBALIA. Not only are they very familiar with our event, they will ensure a seamless, guaranteed experience.

About Registration

To register, you can choose between the different prices according to your case, please go to the registration page here.

Student/Retired or regular? If you are currently enrolled as a student in any institution doing an undergraduate, Master or Ph.D. degree, you qualify as a student, for which you will have to upload an official proof. Retired attendees also have to upload a documental proof. Otherwise, you are a regular attendant. Note that the organization is subject to strict auditing and hence the need for official documents.

Abstract acceptance and VISA invitation letters are available in the abstract submission system page (remember to log in). If you need a more personalized letter, for example stating that the abstract acceptance process is peer-reviewed (common requirement of the Tukish TÜBİTAK) then write an email to Gerhard-Wilhelm Weber (gerhard-wilhelm.weber@put.poznan.pl).

One registration allows for one presentation at the conference. No more than one presentation per registration is allowed

Schedule questions

When will the detailed schedule be available?We are working on the close to 2600 abstracts we have received. As you can imagine, this is a herculean task. We will notify all authors when the detailed schedule is available.

We are getting may requests regarding the schedule. Unfortunately, we are not ready to produce the schedule until all registrations and payments have been confirmed. The schedule is likely to be ready by the end of May 2018.

Can you schedule my talk on day X? (and other constraints)You can always submit requests that affect your availability for your presentation to euro2018-schedule@euro-online.org. However, we kindly ask you to do so only in really exceptional situations. As you can imagine, considering hundreds of constraints makes the schedule hard to produce. In any case, we cannot guarantee that we might be able to take into account all preferences.

We are sorry, the schedule is now final. The organizers have accommodated all schedule requests which were timely communicated.

Speakers

I submitted an abstract in the call for papers process. When will I be notified if I was chosen to speak?Our scientific committee will contact you to advise whether your abstract has been accepted or not, in any case, not later than 21st of March, 2018.
